Kirecom history

The following year

Our new official trademark is born, entirely designed by us, with black and red as official colours.

cazzeggiolibero.net growth on Joomla 1.5 and phpBB. We develop pasquinimotorsport.com too, that has been released in August 2009 after a fast and efficient development. The official website of kart’s team closes up in 2011 by owners’ decision.

Our skills increase: phpBB does not have more secrets despite the drop of the platforms forum popularity. As well as Joomla and its most famous components like AlphaUserPoints, that was very popular and still in development.

Furthermore, we start to use on the old official blog the world’s most popular CMS: WordPress.

2010: Liveunict and the turning point

In August 2010 , after the acquired knowledge with Joomla and phpBB, we also take in technical co-management the liveunict.com portal (now Catania.liveuniversity.it).

The website already proves to be very popular and embellished by our technical work, it makes excellent progress in terms of development.

In the meantime cazzeggiolibero.net development continues, even though the website is going to his final disposal at the behest of the domain’s owners.

Our skills rise and at the end of 2010 we have a full picture of MySQL operation and of the manipulation of its internal data. So MySQL become the DBMS of reference for us.

3 years later

All our portals are transferred from foreign hosting to Dreamhost, an American hosting managed service still very efficient.

What is more, adsjuniorcatania.com is born (now strongly different from the initial project) and Liveunict.com is further developed and updated.

On the other side, cazzeggiolibero.net is going to its definitive closure, that will come off the following year.

The knowledge increases

Our knowledge is based on Linux systems with the use of Bash through SSH and the first script written with native commands Bash. Again, the direction of PHP code (rewriting and modification of  PHP engine parameters) becomes more depth and accurate.

We improve the knowledge of SQL as query language whereby we can dialogue with the DBMS MySQL.

A new beginning for Liveunict.com

Liveunict undergoes a complete restyling in August 2012. Based on Rockettheme Fresco and J1.5 the new version comes out, in continuity with the prevuois versions of the portal.

Anyway, this version (3.0) is just transitory towards the new Liveuniversity, completely different and based on WordPress, no more on Joomla, abandoned because of excessive heaviness and  the slim possibility of configuration.

Lo Zoo di 105, a new adventure

At the end of 2012 Kirecom becomes the official technical partner of  “Lo Zoo di 105”. So we start to manage the technical direction of ilsitodellozoo.com and related domains and also to write the contents on the official page, reached by over than 2,5 million people.

We actively collaborate with the technical section of Radio 105 too, regarding web service integration and podcasting of the “Programma che non piace”.

In February 2013 Liveuniversity.it is born, the natural evolution of Liveunict.com, but extended to the whole italian country and not only in the area of Catania. Liveunict.com becomes catania.liveuniversity.it and Joomla is abandoned in favor of  WordPress, more reliable. The main theme is customized in a clean and efficient way: it has a great speed and it is easier to set up.

Moreover, the newborn Liveunict Cultural Association realizes an investment on the infrastructure: the server becomes completely dedicated and the website reaches an uptime and a unprecedented stability.

Then, in the 2013 summer, we take over the Copertino city Proloco website, La Sicilia Que Baila, Comoradio.it too and at last the well-established Pianeta Milan.

2014, the continuous growth

In 2014 there is a great improvement and consolidation of our portals, both in visits and technical terms.

OVH becomes our main point regarding our servers infrastructure (6 servers in December 2014), providing us an extraordinary and performable service. All our domains are migrated to Roubaix and Strasbourg, with a CDN system that replies the static contents even at MIX of Milan in order to serve them quickly to our users.

A big breakthrough

Kirecom has the possibility to increase its know-how by working on the new system of ilsitodellozoo.com podcasting for the replicas and the “Lo Zoo di 105” sketches.

Our competence with PHP and the use of JSON as a standard for the withdrawal of web services data is embellished by the number of the daily users that utilize the service initially improved by our team.

What is more the consolidation brings new dedicated servers on our network with triple SSD disk and RAID 1 for the protection of data.

2015, the present with an eye on the future

On January 1^st  our advanced backup system completes its first task with two redundancy servers. So our portals, systems and mailservers are granted by the loss of data thanks to our self-produced scripts that saves a daily completed backup on our two double disk servers.

A totally no-panel installation makes one’s Liveuniversity and Pianeta Milan debut with stack LAMP totally self-managed by Kirecom with cache CDN and integrated Opcode in the PHP-FPM.

In February the new mobile version for our two major portals comes out, strongly wanted in order to make our users loyal to us (about 30.000 users served per day) even on the most widespread mobile operating systems (iOS, Android, Windows Phone).

Kirecom is now working on the 2016 network infrastructure that should integrate a caching system based on Memcached and a virtualization infrastructure for different centralized tasks for all web services managed and maintained by us.
